Hello, Books & Beyonders!
It's Earth Day-- the perfect time for a plastic recyclables challenge! You will have two weeks for this challenge. This includes time to watch our video from Mystery Science, design your project, gather supplies, complete construction and video your final product.
To do:
1. Click HERE to watch the Mystery Science video for the mini-lesson "How Old is the Earth"
2. Be sure to watch the bonus content that comes after the video. This is a top 5 list of different ways people have repurposed plastic.
3. Brainstorm different ways that YOU can reuse plastic -- you can take an idea from the top 5 list, or come up with something completely different.
4. Once you have an idea, follow the steps of the design process to complete your challenge.
5. Post a video of your completed project by May 8. You may either use our Books & Beyond Dojo, or upload to flipgrid (see below for access links). A list of suggested items to share on your video is listed below.
